DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
What is accreditation and why is it important ? Accreditation is the evaluation tool used to ensure a high level of quality in higher education. Accreditation is the process that gives public recognition to institutions that meet certain standards. Accreditation is the school’s mark of legitimacy. Accrediting agencies in the U.S. are privately owned State registered organizations who have taken it upon themselves to assure the quality and standards of higher education. NAHED is one of the oldest accrediting organizations of national scope, initially incorporated in 1974 and reincorporated in Washington DC in 2007. Efforts of the Department of Education to dictate the establishment and measurement of student achievement standards were stopped decisively by the the Higher Education Act of 2008, which prohibits the Secretary of Education from regulating student achievement or any other accreditation standards. This was a hard-fought battle and is a significant victory for established national accrediting agencies such as NAHED. The U.S. Department of Education does not play a role in accrediting schools, colleges and student achievements. The Department of Education does not accredit educational institutions, and has no authority to recognize national or regional accrediting agencies for the purpose of establishing quality control. The only form of ''recognition'' that may be granted by the Secretary of Education is for Title IV funding purposes only, this is the nearly 60 billion dollar congressionally approved annual money stream that flows from taxpayers to mainly state universities and community colleges.
